Click Link, click Technical Support. Looks like you meet the recommended specs, although your FX5200 may be a little spikey, you shouldn't have any issues. I can only assume that you have a keyboard, mouse and internet connection, since you didn't list them in your post. (LOL)

You can't see me
You look fine to me. Some lag, yes, but other than that it seems suitable at least.

im not much of a eye candy person so would it run perfectley fine if I pushed all the settings to the very very very lowest?

You wont have to set them to low. Just go wuith the defaults. If you want to reduce the hit to your graphics, try running in 16 nbit vs 32 bit. Not a lot of difference unless you have high end gear, but it will keep your VPU running cooler.

It should run fine, just have it low to med settings and 3d audio disabled.
Should still play nicely.
This is assuming you have Windows XP. Vista is another story....

Yeah, your computer seems good enough to run it. I can't see you having any problems running it.
your computer should be able to run it without any problem.

Yeah I had the exact same rig, except for a 3.0 ghz P4 HT.
fx5200 runs good at 1280*1024 and everything turned down, it looks the best that way imo.

I agree with the above posts. The Fx5200 is a bit weak for a gaming card (probably slower than a high-end GeForce 4 or even a GF 3) but if you don't mind turning the details down the game should run just fine. Just expect some slowdown with pixel fillrate-hungry effects like the clouds from Meteor Showers and beams of light - you can't turn those off.

Your system is fine.
Run it at 1024x768
Put graphics setting slider to far left
Put Textures on HIGH
Put Terrain on MEDIUM
IMO DONT start with factions, get the Double Pack with Prophecies and Eye of the North all in one. Get Factions LAST IF you find you need a skill.
